Focusing on the cultural and religious significance of specific geographical sites to the Navajo Nation, the book explores the tension between preserving traditional cultural properties and the pressures of modernization. Carmean details the legal frameworks governing these sacred sites amid federal projects and examines the broader dilemma of sustainability faced by the Navajo as they navigate industrialization. Written for undergraduates and the general public, it offers insights into the complexities of cultural resource management and the quest for balance between tradition and change.
